The case of Maggie Cansey VS.. John Rus
sell for seduction came up again in the munc-
ipal court yesterday morning and consumed
d large portion of the day. The prosecution
developed nothing except repetition of the
story OF the previous day, in which the
plaintiff alleges seduction no less than sixty
nine separate times, each time under
animation she admitted she had
gone to st. Paul and Minneapolis several
occasions at the request of Russell and had
on each occasion been criminally intimate
with him. Judge Nethaway in rendering his
decision said, from the evidence educed. it
appeared that the plaintiff had at a number
of different times willingly submitted her
self TO the defendant. The fact that she had
a number Of times visited st. Paul and Min
neapolIs, well knowing for what purpose she
was going, was prima face evidence that she
was not woman of chastity apd that while
regretting his inability to punish Russell for
his lewd character, he was compelled to dis
charge him. Russells witnesses were not
sworn.

John Mccarthy, escorted by .the Saltwater

played several selections, when Mr.. Mccarthy
appeared and was loudly cheered. He thanked
his friends and neighbors in very happy
manner for their good wishes, and assured
them that his conduct of the Office to which
he had been appointed would be such as to
still merit their approval. He then invited
one and all to walk inside, where the entire
party was served with refreshments. Sew
eral complimentary speeches were made by
Alderman and County Treasurer John T .
Burk, Emil Kruger J. S. O'Brien, c. E. Mo-
sier and others, and the visitors wishing their
host good night withdrew.
